"The Power Of Spiritual Momentum"

President Russell M. Nelson

President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Today I would like to suggest five specific actions we can take to help us maintain positive spiritual momentum.

First, Get on the covenant path and stay there.

Second, Discover the joy of daily repentance.

Third, Learn about God and how He works.

Fourth, Seek and expect miracles.

Fifth, End conflict in your personal life. 

 James left around 5 for his concrete pour at the Thompson's. He tried to wake Rowan up to go with him, but couldn't. 

My blood sugar was high this morning so I waited awhile to eat. I walked, blogged, listened to conference talks and "Come Follow Me." 

James got home around 10:00 this morning and said the concrete pour went perfectly and that Sean and Bishop Hunsaker are amazing! When James asked what he owed them Bishop said, nothing.

James said the concrete would be completely set up after four hours and even if it rained the rain wouldn't do any damage. It rained after four hours and fifteen minutes. The Lord is looking after James.

The girls and I finished the 500 piece donut puzzle today and since Ruby is reading the book, "Blackmoore" I started listening to it on Deseret Book Plus. I've read it before but of course I don't remember everything. James says he remembers it very well. 

I washed all of Ruby's and Lola's clothes and folded them so they would be clean when they got home and Trina wouldn't have a ton of laundry to do. I offered to wash Rowan's too but he turned me down.

The kids had turkey sandwiches, chips and fruit for lunch and then I fixed chili dogs and mac & cheese for dinner. 

Ruby and Rowan went for a walk together and when they returned Lola and Ruby went on a walk. This evening the girls and I watched some old game shows, one was The Match Game starring Gene Rayburn. It was from 1976 and we laughed at some of the hair styles and clothes. We also watched Jesse. 

We all had family prayer together with James offering the prayer.
